Fernbrook Fields is an athletic complex in Maple Grove created in 2019 through a partnership between the city, the school district and local youth sports organizations. Although mainly a sports park, it offers family-friendly amenities, including a large modern playground. Note that while general use areas, such as the playground, are free. Some park facilities may charge admission.

Amenities include 4 full-size artificial turf fields, a picnic pavilion and shaded seating, the playground, and public restrooms. It also contains a year-round sports dome that houses an artificial turf field, a batting tunnel and walking track.  Open dome times and walking hours are offered in the winter months.

4 Ideas for Family Fun at Fernbrook Fields

1. Play on the playground. It is close enough to the ball fields that you can let younger kids play while you watch games.
2. Attend an open dome to get in sports/turf activities during the colder months.
3. Pack a picnic and eat in the shaded pavilion. You can see the playground and the ballfields from the pavilion if you want to bring a book while you let the kids play.
4. Walk on the track in the dome. Strollers are welcome, so this can be a nice way to get out for a walk with the little ones when it is too cold to go outside. While the track remains at restricted capacity, registration is required. Find walking track hours and sign up here.
